Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily. If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality.
Perhaps you know of someone who has always had an interest in crochet and want to foster it. Just as babies start crawling, those learning beginners crochet techniques stitch a basic block. Generally, it is wound on a small core resulting in a compact ball with high yardage.
You should begin by holding your crochet hook in your right hand. Unlike knitting, crochet uses this single starting loop to work a row of individual chain stitches. If you can't learn from the Internet and feel that you need more of a one on one approach, check with your local craft store.
You can create many great and useful items for wearing and making your home warm. A free crochet pattern for an afghan cover is not only a great way to start, but it is also fun.
